Community West Bancshares (“Community West” or the “Company”),
(NASDAQ: CWBC), parent company of Community West Bank (the “Bank”),
today reported net income of $3.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted
share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $3.5 million, or
$0.39 per diluted share, for the preceding quarter, and $2.9
million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of
2021. For the full year 2022, the Company reported record net
income of $13.4 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, compared to
$13.1 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, for the full year 2021.
Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 include
a $461,000 negative provision for loan loss expense compared to a
$298,000 provision for loan loss expense during third quarter 2022.
Also impacting the preceding quarter was a one-time $132,000
recovery related to a prior OREO expense.
The Company’s Board of Directors declared an
increase of its quarterly cash dividend by 6.7% to $0.08 per common
share, payable February 28, 2023, to common shareholders of record
on February 10, 2023.
“We delivered excellent fourth quarter results,
and record full year 2022 earnings, highlighted by strong organic
loan growth, steady loan production and continued net interest
margin expansion,” stated Martin E. Plourd, President & Chief
Executive Officer of Community West Bancshares. “We started the
year focused on deploying excess liquidity through increased
lending activity, which resulted in solid organic loan growth. Our
net interest margin improved 19 basis points on a linked quarter
basis to 4.58%, as we benefitted from higher loan yields and
interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. Our outlook
for 2023 remains cautious, as we anticipate a leaner loan pipeline,
as recessionary concerns continue, and deposit pricing pressures
persist. As one of the last remaining community banks of scale
along California's Central Coast, we continue to create value for
our clients, shareholders, and communities.”

Income Statement
Net interest income increased 1.8% to $12.1
million in the fourth quarter 2022, compared to $11.9 million in
the preceding quarter and increased 13.3% compared to $10.7 million
in fourth quarter 2021. Interest income from loans increased 5.1%
or $600,000 compared to the prior quarter due to increased average
balances and loan yields. Interest income from securities and
interest-earning deposits increased 3.0% or $24,000 compared to the
prior quarter primarily due to increased average security balances
and higher earning-deposit yields because of increased market
rates. Total interest expense for the quarter increased 55.5% or
$406,000 compared to the prior quarter due to increased rates on
interest-bearing demand deposits. For the year, net interest income
increased 8.1% to $45.8 million compared to $42.4 million in 2021.
Interest income from loans increased 3.4% or $1.5 million in 2022
compared to the prior year due to increased average balances and
loan yields. Interest income from securities and interest-earning
deposits increased 159.8% or $1.5 million compared to 2021 largely
due to the increase in average security balances and higher earning
deposit yields. Total interest expense decreased 10.2% or $376,000
compared to 2021 due to the lower rates paid on interest-bearing
deposits accounts and lower average time deposit balances and
costs.
Net interest margin was 4.58% for fourth quarter
2022, a 19-basis point increase compared to third quarter 2022, and
an 81-basis point increase compared to fourth quarter 2021. “Our
fourth quarter net interest margin continued to benefit from higher
loan yields, as new loans that carry a higher interest rate are
replacing lower rate PPP loans, and existing variable rate loans
continue to reprice,” said Richard Pimentel, Chief Financial
Officer. The yield on loans for the fourth quarter 2022 increased
18 basis points to 5.21% compared to 5.03% for the third quarter
2022 because of increased loan rates on new originations and the
impact of higher market rates. The yield on federal funds and
interest-earning deposits increased 130 bps to 3.39% for the fourth
quarter 2022 due to increases in rates earned for overnight
deposits and rates for money market deposits. The cost of funds for
the fourth quarter increased 17 basis points to 0.47%, compared to
0.30% for the preceding quarter due to higher rates paid on deposit
accounts and changes in portfolio mix. Net interest margin for the
year was 4.21% compared to 4.03% in 2021. The 18-basis point
increase was primarily due to increased average balances in
investment securities, higher rates paid on interest-bearing
deposits and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
Non-interest income for the fourth quarter 2022 decreased $108,000
to $764,000 compared to $872,000 in third quarter 2022 as a result
of lower loan fees and less gain-on-sale of loans. Other loan fees
were $246,000 for the fourth quarter 2022 compared to $292,000 in
third quarter 2022. Gain on sale of loans was $12,000 in the fourth
quarter 2022 compared to $49,000 in the third quarter of 2022 as a
result of fewer sales during the quarter. Non-interest income
increased 6.0% to $4.0 million in the year 2022 compared to $3.8
million in 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $549,000 BOLI
policy payout and a $992,000 recapture of expenses from a lawsuit
settlement related to a foreclosed asset during the first quarter
of 2022. The increase was partially offset by a $218,000 decrease
in gain-on-sale of loans as a result of less loan sales and a
$188,000 decrease in loan fees.
Non-interest expense increased $969,000 to $8.6
million in fourth quarter 2022 compared to $7.6 million in the
third quarter of 2022 primarily due to an increase in professional
services. Professional services increased $583,000 due to costs of
implementing Sarbanes Oxley and to support strategic and technology
initiatives. Non-interest expense increased $3.3 million to $31.3
million in 2022 compared to $28.0 million in 2021. The increase
over the prior year was due to a $1.0 million increase in salaries
and benefits due to wage competition and a $1.3 million increase in
professional services due to costs related to management’s
assertion concerning the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control structure and procedures for financial reporting as
required for institutions over $1 billion on total assets and to
support strategic and technology initiatives.
Balance Sheet
Total assets were $1.09 billion at December 31,
2022 and at September 30, 2022, and decreased $65.6 million, or
5.7%, compared to $1.16 billion, at December 31, 2021. Total
interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions increased
$13.8 million to $63.3 million at December 31, 2022, compared to
September 30, 2022 and significantly decreased $143.4 million
compared to December 31, 2021. Total investment securities were
$29.5 million at quarter end, compared to $59.9 million in the
prior quarter. Total loans increased by $9.6 million, or 1.0%, to
$955.3 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $945.7 million, at
September 30, 2022, and increased $63.3 million, or 7.1%, compared
to $892.1 million, at December 31, 2021. Total loans,
excluding PPP loans, increased $9.7 million during the quarter, and
increased $82.8 million compared to
December 31, 2021.
Commercial real estate loans outstanding (which
include SBA 504, construction and land) were up 13.4% from year-ago
levels to $545.3 million at December 31, 2022, and comprise 57.1%
of the total loan portfolio. Manufactured housing loans were up
6.2% from year-ago levels to $315.8 million, and represent 33.1% of
total loans. Commercial loans (which include agriculture loans)
were up 3.5% from year-ago levels to $74.9 million, and represent
7.8% of the total loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2022, the
Company had seven PPP loans totaling $1.8 million remaining on its
balance sheet from both the first and second rounds of PPP funding.
PPP loans of $1.8 million represent less than one percent of total
loans at December 31, 2022, unchanged from September 30, 2022 and
down from $21.3 million at December 31, 2021.
Total deposits increased $22.9 million, or 2.7%,
to $875.1 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $852.2 million
at September 30, 2022, and decreased $75.0 million, or
7.9%, compared to $950.1 million at December 31, 2021.
Non-interest-bearing demand deposits were $216.5 million at
December 31, 2022, a $26.6 million decrease compared to $243.1
million at September 30, 2022, and a $6.6 million increase compared
to $209.9 million at December 31, 2021. Higher cost
interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $11.3 million to $429.2
million at December 31, 2022, compared to $439.9 million at
September 30, 2022, and decreased $109.3 million compared to $537.5
million at December 31, 2021. Certificates of deposit, which
include brokered deposits, increased $61.2 million during the
quarter to $206.9 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $145.8
million at September 30, 2022, and increased $27.9 million compared
to $179.1 million at December 31, 2021.
“The Bank experienced deposit outflows because
of planned and unplanned withdrawals as competition for deposits
continued to put pressure on pricing, net-interest margin and
client retention. With more potential rate sensitivity going
forward, we anticipate deposit pricing to be a challenge to future
NIM expansion,” said Pimentel.
Stockholders’ equity increased to $112.7 million
at December 31, 2022, compared to $109.8 million at September 30,
2022, and $101.4 million at December 31, 2021. Book value per
common share increased to $12.80 at December 31, 2022, compared to
$12.54 at September 30, 2022, and $11.72 at December 31,
2021.
Credit Quality
“Credit quality metrics remain strong, with a
decrease in net-nonaccrual loans compared to a year ago,” said
William F. Filippin, Chief Credit Officer. At December 31, 2022,
asset quality reflected improvement due to positive loan risk
rating migrations during the fourth quarter. Total classified loans
and net non-accrual loans decreased year-over-year due to
improvements in the loan portfolio and payoffs in these categories.
All loans rated “Watch” or worse are monitored monthly and
proactive measures are taken when any signs of deterioration to the
credit are discovered.
The Company recorded a negative provision for
loan loss expense of $461,000 in the fourth quarter 2022, compared
to a provision for loan loss expense of $298,000 in third quarter
2022, and a provision expense of 26,000 in fourth quarter 2021. The
allowance for loan losses was $10.9 million, or 1.15% of total
loans held for investment, at December 31, 2022. Net non-accrual
loans, plus net other assets acquired through foreclosure, was $2.5
million at December 31, 2022 and at September 30, 2022, and
decreased 20.2% compared to $3.1 million at
December 31, 2021.
Net non-accrual loans improved to $211,000 as of
December 31, 2022, compared to $239,000 at September 30, 2022, and
$565,000 at December 31, 2021. Of the $211,000 of net
non-accrual loans at December 31, 2022, $150,000 were single family
loans and $61,000 were manufactured housing loans.
There was $2.3 million in other assets acquired
through foreclosure as of December 31, 2022, and on September 30,
2022. This compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2021. The OREO
balance relates to one property.
